Filter by:Aims:The study was conducted to investigate the effect of Yoga-based exercise program on pain, range of motion(ROM), sleep quality, depression and quality of life in female patients with myofascial pain dysfunction(MPD) of temporomandibular disorders . Methods: MPD will be included in the study. Yoga based exercise program will be performed to the first group as 3 times in a week for 6 weeks. The second group will be the control group. Outcome measurements; pain ,sleep quality, depression and quality of life will be evaluated. Evaluations will be repeated before and 6 weeks after exercise.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), is the only movable joint between the joints in the head and neck system. It is a component of the chewing system and is involved in important functions such as speech, swallowing, taste and breathing. Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is the general name given to various musculoskeletal problems seen in the stomatognathic system, mostly affecting the masticatory muscles and/or TMJ. TMD is the second most common musculoskeletal pain after chronic low back pain. Patients with TMD may also complain of other musculoskeletal problems, craniocervical problems, sleep problems, and anxiety disorders. The aim of this study is to investigate, compare and examine the relationship between neck dysfunction, headache and temporomandibular dysfunction severity, anxiety and sleep quality in female individuals.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discectomy is one of the most popular surgical techniques for painful TMJ. Previous studies have demonstrated predictable results of discectomy with optimal results in pain reduction and maximum mouth opening (MMO) improvement. However, those studies had most of the times varied inclusion criteria. A 4-year prospective study was designed including patients treated with unilateral TMJ discectomy without interposal material as the first surgical procedure for two specific intra-articular diagnosis: disc perforation and disc fragmentation.
The aim of the study is to analyze the effects of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) on oral dysphagia (OD) in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
Stroke affects the vital activities of daily living such as breathing and swallowing. After stroke excursion of the diaphragm reduces about 50%, and also the maximum expiratory pressure of the individual 50% or higher. Dysphagia occurs in 29% to 45% of the acute stroke cases.
To know the short-term effects of electric massage applied on the cervical region combined with local techniques on the temporomandibular joint versus an intervention that applies only local techniques in subjects diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders.
Sleep-related breathing disorders (SBAS) are one of the most common causes of non-restorative sleep. Sleep therapy options include positive pressure ventilation with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks, mandibular advancement of the mandible with mandibular advancement devices (MAD), back restraining, weight reduction, ear, nose and throat surgical procedures, bimaxillary or mandibular remodeling osteotomies, and neurostimulation procedures N. hypoglossal. In mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), MAD, back suppression and weight reduction are potential treatment options. This study aims to identify possible side effects in the temporomandibular system that occur during nocturnal support of a mandibular arch over two years. Two different MADs are compared in terms of construction, height (bite elevation) and protrusion mechanics: the H-MAD with an hinge system according to Herbst and the SomnoDent Fusion ™ MAD (called F-MAD) with sliding side wings. In addition, it is to be evaluated whether hinge system according to Herbst as a protrusion-controlling element and the reduction of the splint body for a reduced bite elevation leads to a significant reduction of side effects compared to the F-MAD.
The objective of this study will be to verify the additional effect of Pain Neuroscience Education program to orofacial manual therapy and orofacial and neck motor control exercises for pain intensity and disability and for the secondary outcomes pain self-efficacy, kinesiophobia, and overall perception of improvement in patients with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). This study will be a randomized clinical trial comprising a sample of 148 participants. Subjects will undergo a screening process to verify those presenting a diagnosis of painful TMD confirmed by the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC/TMD), between 18 and 55 years of both genders, and then the volunteers will be randomized into two groups (G1: Pain Neuroscience Education + Orofacial Manual Therapy/orofacial exercises/neck motor control exercises vs. G2: Orofacial Manual Therapy/orofacial exercises/neck motor control exercises). These volunteers will be recruited at the Dentistry Clinic of the University of São Paulo's School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto - University of São Paulo. The intervention will be administered twice a week for 6 weeks by a single therapist lasting 1 hour per session. The primary outcome will be pain intensity and disability and the secondary outcomes will be pain self-efficacy, kinesiophobia and overall perception of improvement. The participants will be assessed immediate after the last session and at one and three-month follow-ups.
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) includes disorders of the masticatory muscles in the stomatognathic system, temporomandibular joints and the surrounding structures. They are often associated with abnormal conditions of occlusion. The term "functional disorders" does not include all diseases of the muscular and joint system, like inflammatory, degenerative changes and cancer lesions of the muscles (multiple sclerosis, tetany, dermatomyositis). They are often the result of excessive and prolonged muscle hyperactivities and excessive work that cause non-physiological loads occurring in temporomandibular joints
Patients with complete dentures were examined after the prosthoddontic treatment with two methods of establishing a centric relation: wax rims and gothic arch tracing method. The effectiveness of establishing a centric relation was evaluated.
